Becky Lynch on why a one-on-one match with Ronda Rousey never took place in WWE
The Man has defeated major names in the Stamford-based promotion and won several titles across all three brands. However, Becky Lynch never got a one-on-one match with Ronda Rousey she desired.
In an interview with Daily Mail UK, The Man stated everyone wanted to see her go up against The Baddest Woman on the Planet. However, the moment had gone by as they both eventually left, and returned a few years later:
"Do I think that was the match that everyone was clamoring for? Yes, it was. Everyone wanted that singles match. And I think, people thought that moment in time would be evergreen, and it wasn't. That's OK too. I think you can't force things when they're not there, and I think we see that with what's currently going on with the product," Lynch said.
The dream match won't happen anytime soon in WWE or any other promotion as Ronda Rousey has retired from full-time competition, and expecting her second child.
